An ex-Tennessee cop who became a porn meme is suing the city where she served and three former superiors, claiming they 'groomed her for sexual exploitation'
Besides Burrel “Chip” Davis — who was chief of LPD until he, too, wasin connection with the scandal in February — the suit names terminated Sergeants Henry “Ty” McGowan and Lewis Powell. The suit claims Hall, who is married, was a vulnerable young woman new to a department dominated by much older men given to objectifying and harassing her. Members of the department purportedly offered favors in return for sex or threatened her career security if she withheld it.
The department’s internal investigation into these matters, the suit notes, characterized all sexual activity as initiated by Hall herself, with Davis and McGowan allegedly conspiring to influence the ultimate findings in their favor. As a result, early media coverage of the scandal portrayed Hall as a “girls gone wild cop” — which in turn spawned viral memes and commentary making light of her supposedly voracious sexual appetites.
